Out and Back Again

Spring                                                                       Mountain Moon Earth Day. Thanks, Gaylord Nelson. Gabe’s birthday, too. 10 this year.

Spring                                                                        Mountain Moon Drove over to Rich Levine’s in Evergreen, up on Alpine drive.
